- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheels were protected with Swissvax Autobahn
- Tires dressed
- Masking
- 1 Step Polish with Menzerna PO85RD
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
